Last year Alice LeBlanc of Manhattan donated a conservation easement on 76 acres of land that she owns on Calvin Cole Rd in Stephentown.  It is to be kept natural except for two house lots that will be located close to the road. It consists of two open meadows, approximately one half mile of wetland that borders Randall Brook which flows into the Kinderhook. The land rises from brook up to Calvin Cole Rd and is forested with hardwoods and hemlocks.   It has a beaver pond and all the wildlife typical of remote rural areas in Rensselaer County. There are several old roads on it that are now footpaths and a 200 yr old cemetery with at least one Revolutionary War veteran buried there. The cemetery was overgrown with brush and trees until this past fall at which time Alice, volunteers, and members of the Stephentown Historical Society cleared it.  The property is not open to the public and is only accessible during an RLT outing approved by the owner."
